Free A Love Stolen by Ella Jade

into her own, it hit her with a clarity she hadn't experienced before. The struggle over whether she should stay with him, where she belonged, disappeared from her thoughts. They still had a way to go, but they were headed in the right direction.
    As she rocked into him, she ran her hands down his chest, feeling the warmth of his skin under her touch. She finally knew what she wanted. There'd be no more
    guessing, no more questions.
    "Trev, baby, I can't—" The feeling of her pussy engulfing his cock distracted her.
    She knew what she wanted to tell him, but the pleasure was too much. She couldn't verbalize what she needed to say.
    "Can't what, gorgeous? Tell me." He gripped her hips and met each of her downward thrusts with a quick, hard upward motion.
    Ever leave you .
    Had she said that out loud? She couldn't focus on anything other than him,
    moving inside her. She couldn't imagine him getting any deeper. She reached down to cradle his balls in her hand, heightening his pleasure. Her clit throbbed against his cock as he swiveled his hips. His actions caused her body to spasm, over and over. She leaned down, pressed her lips to his, and came harder than she'd ever experienced. As the sweat trickled down her back, he moved against her, and then she felt his body tense.
    "Angel, I'm gonna come." He tightened his hold on her waist, stilled his movements, then released deep inside her.
    He rolled her onto her side, then wrapped his arms around her. "No words." He managed to breathe out. "I can't describe what you do to me."
    As Lila cuddled against Trevor, neither of them said anything for a few minutes.
    Lila knew he was just as content as she was, but she needed him to know about her revelation.
    "I'm ready to answer your question." She didn't want to lose her nerve.
    "Which one?" He laughed. "I've thrown a lot at you, the last few days."
    "The one about a second chance."
    "Oh." He tightened his hold on her, as if he was trying to keep her from bolting.
    "What have you decided?"
    "I hate what happened between us, but it's over."
    "It doesn't have to be." She heard the stress in his voice.
    "That part does, Trevor. If we're going to move forward, we can't keep thinking about what could've been, or how we would've ended up."
    "I agree. Neither one of us is that kid who hung out on the beach, or skinny-dipped in the bay."
    "We've grown up. You still have responsibilities, but I want to be here with you."
    "You want to stay in Steeple?" He loosened his grip on her and she felt his body relax. "With me?"
    "It's my home." She propped herself up on her elbow and smiled at him. "You're my home. I won't allow another day to be stolen from us. I love you, and I'm not going to run anymore."
    "That's a relief." He kissed the tip of her nose. "I've never stopped loving you. I won't screw this up again. I know what it's like to live without you, and I can't do it any longer."
    "You don't have to." She leaned in and kissed him. "I'm here, and I don't want to leave."
    "What about your career? I don't want to hold you back. I know I've put some pressure on you these past few days, because I was just so glad to have you back, but I do respect that you have a life."
    Could he be any more perfect? The warmth of his words coursed through her body and settled in her heart. "I can look for a teaching job around here. I was also thinking about taking some more courses for my doctorate. Maybe now is the time to look into that."
    "I just want you to be happy. I'll do whatever it takes to make you that way."
    "You already have." Lila missed her father, but she took comfort in the fact that his death had brought her back home, back to the only man she'd ever given her heart to.
    He stroked her hair. "Angel, do you think maybe we could still find it in us to take a trip to the bay?"
    "Absolutely." She giggled. "I'd be disappointed if we didn't. But, what if we get caught?" She bit her bottom lip.
    "I know the sheriff. I hear he's pretty fond of his
